Right now, if you look, they all point to the same thing, so it doesn't matter :) tty-linus is for patches to go to Linus this kernel release. tty-next is for patches to go to Linus the next kernel release. Both tty-linus and tty-next show up in linux-next and are never rebased. tty-testing is for patches that are being considered for tty-next, it does not show up in linux-next and sometimes is rebased if things go wrong with the patches. Hope this helps, greg k-h
